The Light to Your Shadows | Sebastian Sallow
Colette Labelle never expected her life at Hogwarts to be anything more than classes, Quidditch, and maybe a little trouble along the way. Instead, she's caught in the middle of ancient magic, dark family secrets, and feelings she definitely didn't ask for-especially when it comes to Sebastian Sallow, her infuriatingly charming best friend who has a knack for making everything more complicated.
Their friendship? Messy. Their families? Even worse. Both are tangled in the aftermath of abusive homes, haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, and constantly dancing on the edge of something more than friendship. But it's not just teenage angst and unresolved tension that's out to ruin them. There's a harsh, undeniable truth: ancient magic can't simply be passed down-it's either rarely inherited or stolen by killing the person who wields it. And guess who just happens to be the lucky girl with a target on her back? Colette.
From her first year at Hogwarts to her last, Colette is hunted, tested, and forced to confront not just the people who want her dead, but the terrifying realization that the one thing holding her together-her connection to Sebastian-is the very thing she's most afraid to lose.
So, how far will she go to keep her magic and her life? And how far will Sebastian go to protect her, even if it means losing himself along the way? But maybe, along the way, they can finally find the light to their shadows.
